Hi,
I'm new to PHP, and i'm making a forum. all the files work except one file, add_topic.php.
It gives me an error saying:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /home/a3885465/public_html/add_topic.php on line 25
I know it is probably on the lines:
</span>}<span class="s4"><br>
</span>else{<span class="s4"><br>
</span>echo "ERROR";<span class="s4"><br>
</span>}<span class="s4"><br>
</span>mysql_close();<span class="s4"><br>
but the whole code is below just in case.
If you have any idea, it would be really appreciated, thanks!
The Code for add_topic.php
